ACSI is extremely useful...you would be daft not to get it
.
In September you don't need to book anywhere. Turn up, flash the old ACSI card and Bob's your uncle.
We have toured four months of the year on the continent for the last 15 years, and have never, ever booked in advance.
It is so different from the UK

As with Stuart above, we have never ever booked a site in advance. Just turn up, show your ACSI card and Bob's your uncle. To my mind the huge advantage of continental sites is that you pay when you leave which means if the weather turns or you don't like the area you can just leave.
As an indication of just how valuable the ACSI card is, some camp sites will keep it at reception to make sure you do pay when leaving.

No need to book but you need to do the maths. You need to recoup the cost of the card & more to make it worthwhile so do some research & see what sites you want to stay at & whether the savings are worth it or are there cheap non ACSI sites in the area.
For me the card works because I have specific sites I want to stop at & at the times I stop there I probably save over 200€ total but using the card randomly with no plan may yield little or no savings.

I use them all the time, sometimes book, other times just turn up. Avoid Calpe Mar, they add on costs as they see fit. Currently on El Naranjal and have pre booked for next year as it gets busy and I've bagged a bigger pitch! Can't fault the place (will review after a while here)

As we have a twin axle and three small dogs we always book ahead with a small deposit. Sometimes we can specify a pitch that we want due ot its size or location. We then pay the balance on arrival using the ACSI discount.
